Been thinking on changing my rear shocks on the SG...get rid of the air shocks...what seem to be working best and who has the best deals...I am right at 6 ft 220 lbs and wife 5' 8" 150 lbs we do a lot of 2 up riding...bunch of people tell me getting rid of the air shocks will give me a way better ride

 

Whatever you choose, get 13"-13.25" shocks. The 12" shocks you have now only have 2" of bad travel.

 

I'm sure you would be happy with the 13" HD hand adjustable shocks.

 

I just bought a set of progressive 944's and love them and so does the wife

 

Put them on my '11 Limited and they made a world of difference with or without the tourpak.

 

Progressive/SE are the next step. JRI/Ohlins are the step after.

 

I am also researching rear shocks for my 2007 street glide. I am leaning toward the progressive 944's. a lot of people seem to like them. let us know what you decide....

 

And they would be right.



I am very happy with those shocks on my Street Glide

Yep, same here.
I do mostly 2-up riding with wife on the back.
The ride is night and day better than the factory air shocks.

 

The stock shocks on my 2014 SGS suck. Zero sag. I ride one up all the time and have them set as per the owners manual. They bottom out on a pretty regular basis.

I contacted Howard at Motorcycle Metal (Forum sponsor). He's shipping my JRI B shocks tomorrow. Look forward to the improved ride.

 

Might want to try a shock oil change first. It can be very effective, and cheap.
